Day One - This is where the magic happens!

This is our art room.  Can't wait for the campers to get here!

Working on the "Pick 3" drawings.
"Pick 3" is a drawing game to get the campers' minds thinking in new, imaginative ways.  
A box is filled with pieces of paper.  Each has a different thing 
written on it - tree, ladder, Saturn, robot, etc.
You pick three out of the box and then make a drawing with all three objects combined.
But not any ordinary drawing!  It can't be something we'd find in the real world.
One camper picked "pizza," "heart," and "cell phone."
Her drawing was of a heart-shaped pizza talking on a cell phone.  :)
